Interesting article, but weird that it basically ignores Angular2+, it's only mentioned once:

> and rewriting them entirely, like Angular did with Angular 2, killed a ton of their community’s momentum.

I don't think this is accurate, Angular may not be as popular amongst SV startups, but is still alive and well in more established businesses/enterprise.

I don't think it's fair to write about the history of Javascript frameworks and completely gloss over one of the most widely used.
